Polish President and now world class hockey team. You would think the elite would "avoid" this kind of incident. Certainly it shouldn't happen with such regularity. Ofc it's even worse in various CIS countries which have 0 airlines authorized to even fly into the EU for example.Originally posted by blackbeSStComment -

Skrastins played for my Stars last year. Guy was getting a little age on him, but was still a dependable defenseman.
Damn shame. Sad day.Comment
